  • Synopsis:

    • Asian markets set for negative start to Friday trade. Futures signaling opening decline in Hong Kong and flat start in Japan. Mild initial losses in Australia. S&P 500 futures higher afterhours after US stocks sustained moderate decline on Thursday. Nasdaq Golden Dragon index down 1% with Alibaba falling 7% after profit disappointed.

Gold and silver recovering following big Thursday sell-off. FX markets steady after dollar experienced biggest drop since January. Bitcoin back to $70K, near one-week low.

    • Volatile session on oil markets with crude stabilizing following earlier rally sparked by Iran hitting Middle East energy facilities. Strike on Qatar LNG plant wiped out 17% of capacity. Market reprieve partially chalked up to de-escalation signals from Trump and Netanyahu saying no more strikes will be launched against Iran energy facilities. Treasury Secretary Bessent flagged lifting sanctions on Iranian oil stranded at sea. Market also sensitive to off-ramp signals after Netanyahu said war may end sooner than people think.

    • Market continues to process implications from ongoing elevation in energy prices with bond yields surging amidcontinued ramp in central bank rate hike expectations. Overnight selling was most pronounced in Gilts after BOE said no more scope for rate cuts in near-term, leading markets to price in two rate hikes this year. Alongside rise in inflation expectations, surging energy prices also fanning concerns around demand destruction and supply chain disruptions amid shortages of raw materials.

    • China expected to keep 1Y and 5Y LPRs unchanged. At NPC, China pledged to keep monetary policy "appropriately accommodative", hinting at room for further cuts to RRR and policy rate. However, there has also been a hawkish market shift in wake of better-than-expected Jan-Feb economic activity data, reflected in rise in long-term CGB yields and interbank borrowing rates. Some analysts also believe inflationary risks from surge in oil prices add to case for delaying rate cuts.
